Sunday, August 04, 2013 12:38:53 PMThe most difficult thing about climate change is that it is a gradual thing, not a dramatic one like this "lake" would have been had it been directly related. So, people who need to be hit over the head with catastrophe (e.g, Republicans) will never take AGW seriously. People like this only act when it is too late to really do anything. They don't believe in "a stitch in time saves nine". They believe in "the earth is dying!!!! We need to do something!! What? It's too late? Crap." That's why they shouldn't be in charge. They are short-sighted and can't see the big picture and how actions today affect the future. If preparing for the future interferes with making money in the present, they will screw the future every time. I'm talking the current GOP, btw, not the reasonable GOP of the past that started things like the EPA.
